It really is so easy to spend someone else's money, but when it comes to their own...I have a few of my own that will probably learn this lesson too!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13940623529019637336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-42634307026023508732012-07-19T13:49:11.393-04:002012-07-19T13:49:11.393-04:00I told Anna about this story last night.

We filled out the form 7 times last year before I called and had a major explosion with the deans office. After all student health insurance is $834.00 a semester. Good old chunk of change that they of course have the students borrow and then time them out of the computer. We however had copies of the 7 times we had done this. I mean you know what hit the fan. i told them I knew it was on purpose because they had done the same thing with my oldest daughter 7 years earlier. It was a racket. If the kids don't have it accepted correctly by a certain date they cannot by any means get their money back. They were and are racing in hundreds of thousands with this scam. I threatened the board of education and the Governors office. Shame on them.Out My windowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456481267171643227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-84309775356547204092012-07-18T21:20:13.422-04:002012-07-18T21:20:13.422-04:00That sounds like a story I could have written. So...That sounds like a story I could have written. So familiar, even if not exactly the same! In our case I had to get them to adjust the amount of Stafford loan based on credits completed (they assign it taking under consideration the credits completed in March, when financial aid is offered, not after the acadamic year has ended in May - another facepalm!) - and sending in the necessary form should have taken care of it, right? But no... Then the proportion of subsidized vs. unsubsidized was not adjusted, and... Long story short, the snippy girl who finally said after about 10 emails back and forth, "Contact my supervisor if you have any further questions" - well, I think her supervisor told her how dumb she was after fixing it.444https://www.blogger.com/profile/18317761558076527630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-64389915618457532832012-07-18T16:52:56.590-04:002012-07-18T16:52:56.590-04:00Just having to pay that bill is ENOUGH to keep you...Just having to pay that bill is ENOUGH to keep you complaining for a right long time.lol<br />I also keep any money left in pockets once it hits the laundry room.
